The milk of human kindness can sometimes seem in short supply when it comes to the reaction of drivers involved in traffic accidents.

Yet another hit-and-run case proved the point on Wednesday afternoon in Preah Vihear’s Kulen district, where a car ran into the back of a motorbike, before speeding off.

The 28-year-old rider suffered serious head injuries but police succeeded in tracking down and arresting the 66-year old car driver, who had hidden in a forest.
